A-DATUM provides 3D scanning, reverse engineering, CAD modeling, dimensional inspection, GD&T, and engineering drawing services. With over 20 years of combined engineering and manufacturing experience, we help turn existing parts and assemblies into accurate CAD models and engineering drawings.
From scanning and dimensional inspection to CAD reconstruction and GD&T, our goal is simple: turn physical parts into useful engineering data for manufacturing, inspection, modification, or reproduction.
